Lloyd Carr in his postgame interview on the Michigan Radio Network: "It begins with being a prepared team. I did not have this team prepared."

@Oops Pow Surprise: Oops: remember, that was after Game 1, where I watched as 40,000 people walked out of Wrigley as if they had just attended a funeral (Sosa homers in the bottom of the 9th to tie, but they lose in 11). Walking south on Clark to my friend's condo off Belmont, you'd have thought someone had been shot.

Until today, the two best sporting events I've been to were Game 6 of the 1988 NBA Eastern Conference Finals, where the Pistons beat the Celtics to make it to the Finals and Game 2 of the 2003 NLCS, when the Cubs demolished the Marlins and we all thought it'd be alright.

The best part is that you can't buy this. There are all these moments you can say you went to, and it's just part of the deal: World Series, Stanley Cup Finals, and there's that nodding sense of "right...that's cool." But to go to a game and see something that's only happened about 130 or 140 times in 110-odd years in

@Jerkwheat: I'm writing something up to send to Will. The insane part was that my friend gave me the ticket at 12:30 this afternoon, and I found out at 4:45 that I have to be on a plane in six hours. There's no freaking way I'm going to sleep.

@Spirit of 76: It was as incredible a moment as I've ever seen. We knew he had filthy stuff in the sixth (I looked at my scorecard and noted he had only allowed one ball out of the infield). After the eighth (the insane Perez double play), the place erupted. Everyone stood for the ninth (there's no more insane feeling

All those who were at Comerica Park tonight, raise your hand.

Ottawa in six, if only because the thought of the last three Stanley Cup winners being from North Carolina, Florida, and California is enough to make my stomach wretch.

What's most impressive is the way Mattoon rebounded after the string of failed drug tests in '91.

My question: did anyone have the opportunity to buy the fight in HD? I know DirecTV was offering it as such, but my brother's Comcast neighborhood was not, leading him to be all cranky to me when I couldn't buy it for him.

@44 in a Row: No. Not having access to the site in and of itself (I don't think) would be grounds. However, being the owner of said site would definitely be.

The best part of the segment is that whomever the other guy is clearly senses this is not a good thing to do. You hear him be very hesitant when Cowherd is looking for support on this. When Amanda tells him about it, the guy says "I've never heard of it." I don't know who he is, but his voice is extremely hesitant

@OchentaYcinco: Reader's Digest Version: Will tried to set up a PayPal account to help soldier's in Iraq (based on Christ Sabo's brother's passing). PayPal, arguing that Will didn't set the account up correctly, locked the account down and told Will (in so many words) he can't touch the money for six months, the

@DeadTeddy8 (David de Sportszilla): Just to be clear: to have standing with the FCC, you have to have heard it over-the-air. Listening to a recording of it doesn't count.

@HappyFeltonsGloryHole: Also, for our friends with XM, Messer Kornheiser's program is simulcast on XM144.

@LingeringBursitis: I couldn't find a clear answer to yes or no on U.S. law. However, I know that the Feds are interested as part of U.S. CERT whenever someone violates a site's explict security policy. While you may not be able to to nail the person who actually created the DoS attack, they would most definitely be

A suggestion to anyone who may have actually heard Mr. Cowherd encourage his listeners to violate federal law: here's another organization that might be interested in hearing from you. (note: this is only for people who actually heardthe broadcast; that's the first rule of standing with that group. The rest of us

You know, as I understand it, there's a little organization called the FBI that would be mighty interested if someone were to declare on a national radio broadcast that it'd be cool to launch a DoS attack on an American Web site, then have the actual DoS attack happen.

Yost: I'm assuming you dropped to your knees and gave thanks to the gods for the announcement last week that the CBC keeps the NHL for six more years after it looked like CTV was going to grab them.

The thing I haven't heard anyone mention: I noticed that the lower bowl (hell, the entire arena when you see the shot from the opposite baseline) is three-quarters empty on Rasheed's shot. Compare that to the highlights from the first 47 minutes of the game, when The Palace was pretty full. Then watch the highlights
